Description

Windsor Castle
Steeped in history, Windsor Castle perches proudly on a lush wooded hill overlooking the Thames. Dating back to Norman times, with sweeping landscaped gardens and turreted Round Tower, it’s easy to see why it’s the Queen’s favourite weekend residence. Enjoy a fascinating through–the–keyhole peek at the lavish State Apartments, home to priceless artworks by Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, and visit St. George’s Chapel, the atmospheric final resting place of former monarchs including Henry VIII. You can visit Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a truly incredible structure complete with working lifts, running water, electricity and wine bottles, all in miniature!

Mysterious Stonehenge
The true meaning of this ancient, awe-inspiring creation has been lost in the mists of time. Was Stonehenge a temple for sun worship, a healing centre, a burial site or perhaps a huge calendar? How did our ancestors manage to carry the mighty stones from so far away and then, using only the most primitive of tools, build this amazing structure? Surrounded by mystery, Stonehenge never fails to impress.

Lunch Pack (optional)
This is a long tour you have an option to pre purchase a delicious lunch pack to be consumed on the coach, allowing you more time to enjoy attractions.Bath
Standing proudly on the slopes of the River Avon, beautiful Bath was the first city in England to be designated an UNESCO World Heritage site. The gorgeous 15th century Bath Abbey, the stunning Georgian architecture, the romantic Pulteney Bridge, modeled on Florence's Ponte Vecchio, are all sights to linger on in the memory of your day.

Roman Baths and Pump Rooms
No tour of Bath would be complete without a visit to the famous Roman Baths that gave the city its name. This beautifully preserved bathing complex still flows with water from Britain’s only hot spring. Marvel at the dazzling torch–lighting ceremony as dusk falls (not applicable in summer) and sip Bath’s healing waters in the Pump Room, a stunning neo–classical salon.

Estimated arrival time back in London is around 8:00pm

Stonehenge Questions - Best tour?

We are often asked about the various options on combination tours that include other notable attractions or scenic areas and of these what is the best tour? In particular, tours that are departing from London.

The question is not that simple and requires a more detailed consideration regarding budget, time, time spent at a given attraction, travel time, the experience (Inner Circle access) and those who pack in as much as they can in a short UK visit.As a summary, we look at each of these in turn.

Budget and Value Tours - Low-Cost ToursDirect to Stonehenge tours from London (Victoria Coach Station)Most of the tour operators will offer this as it includes transport, normally free wifi on the coach, entrance prepaid for at Stonehenge with an audio guide on location. Morning and Afternoon options are running seven days a week.Verdict - A popular choice the morning option allows you to be back in London at around 2.00 PM or take a leisurely breakfast for the Afternoon visit.

Value/Lowcost ToursThese may appear at first glance to be appealing as they are at a lower cost. However, they do not include entrance fees. We do not recommend these. As an example, a recent observation by a visitor decided to buy a Roman Baths entrance and spent all the allotted time queuing to get in.

The experience - In this section we have those tours that will allow access to the inner circle of StonehengeA summary of which is listed here -

Small group tours - You can expect the numbers traveling with you on the above-listed tours to be around 70 peopleThere are some tours that have a maximum of 16 people this is attractive to those who find too many people a distraction.
